Roller covers are efficient devices that carry paint and enable fast coverage of walls and ceiling on painting projects. The type of roller you select for a particular job is important. There are so many options available when it comes to rollers, but one of the best options on the market, including for the painting of cabinets and furniture, is the mohair paint roller. At Pro Roller, we offer an extensive range of products to help you complete your painting projects with ease, accuracy, and efficiency.
Below we cover why mohair paint rollers are ideal for use by painting professionals and DIYers when tackling cabinet and furniture painting projects.
Mohair Defined
Mohair is a fabric that comes from the hair of the Angora goat. This type of fabric is notable for its sheen and luster to it, which accounts for its popularity. It is resistant to shedding and comes with a phenolic or plastic core which is also resistant to solvents. It is a durable and strong material. As a natural material, it is also highly absorbent, which makes it ideal for use in paint rollers.
A mohair roller sleeve should be used on smooth surfaces.
Other benefits afforded by mohair paint rollers for the painting of cabinets and furniture include:
Versatility
Professionals and DIYers need particular tools for specific painting products, finishes, and applications. With a mohair paint roller, you have a versatile roller that can be used on a wide range of projects. This roller is useful for use with coatings such as:
- Oil-based paints and enamels
- Latex paints that are water based
- Lacquer, epoxies, and many other gloss varnishes
- Urethane and polyurethane finishes
Very Smooth Application
As a natural material, a mohair paint roller provides a smooth application to many types of surfaces. It is easy to apply coatings with one of these rollers. You simply pre-wet the paint roller, add some paint and begin applying to the surface. You can achieve a professional-looking finish without excessive effort involved.
Excellent Absorbency
Mohair roller sleeves consist of exceptional quality synthetic material, making them super absorbent. This translates into a roller that soaks up a sufficient quantity of paint to maximize your coverage area without the need to dip the roller for more paint too often. The absorbency of this material helps you get more done with one application and avoid the need to reapply paint.
Easy to Clean
A mohair paint roller is easy to clean. After you have finished painting, you can begin by using warm water and soap to clean and rinse the cover. If you encounter excess paint stuck on the roller, use a 5-in-1 tool or putty knife to remove it. Then repeat and rinse as necessary until all paint is extracted.
